Texas blues coming to Pekin

Andrew "Jr. Boy" Jones, an important voice in the Texas blues scene, is one of those authentic blues figures who glides under the radar but is well-worth catching.

He'll be performing 7-10 p.m. Wednesday at Goodfella's Pizza, 1414 N. Eighth St., Pekin, in a concert sponsored by the River City Blues Society.

Listen to his music long enough, and you can hear influences of B.B. King and Howlin' Wolf. What I really like about Jones, though, is the sincerity of his songwriting and his delivery. Whether he sings about frustration, despair or joy, I find myself fully believing him.
